Morin said she wants to see a minimum sentence for those convicted of impaired driving causing death, and hopes to enlist Redford's support.

She noted Redford's government has already passed a law that enables police to seize vehicles if the driver has .05 per cent alcohol or more in the bloodstream.

"The premier being the person who dropped these (blood alcohol limits in) laws before is the person who is going to be able to stand with me and take this fight to the front lines, where it belongs," said Morin.

Geo is to be buried Wednesday.

The case led to raw emotions in the courtroom Friday when the accused, 62-year-old Richard Suter, was granted bail.
